How can I determine the number of CALs installed on SQL Server 7? I
need to determine the number of CALs that must be purchased to upgrade.

CALs are licences only. They are not installed anywhere so your question
doesn't really make sense.

The proper way to determine your licence requirement is to count your users
or installed devices. SQL Server's CAL requirement is measured by those
metrics, not by concurrent usage. There is a licence figure that you can set
using the SQL Server Licensing Setup utility in Control Panel so I expect
you'll want to check that as well.

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.
